• Install new exhaust manifold gasket with the top of the triangularup mark on it facing up and its coated face (gray side) toward the
exhaust manifold side.
• Tighten the exhaust manifold nuts LH and RH in the numerical order shown. Then recheck the torque of the nuts.
- A: Exhaust manifold (LH)
- B: Exhaust manifold (RH)
- : Front
• Before installing new air fuel ratio A/F sensors, clean the exhaust system threads using suitable tool and
apply anti-seize lubricant.
CAUTION:
• Do not over tighten the air fuel ratio A/F se nsors. Doing so may cause damage to the sensor,
resulting in the MIL coming on.
